Sprituality & Lifestyle - The concept of a bathing or swimming in a pool is that one is submerged in another element completely, as we are submerged completely in air after being born or while carrying out daily tasks.  On a spiritual note, submerging oneself into a hot springs pool is a symbolic “re-entry into the womb.”   For most, those were good days:  being carried about, feeling weightlessness, a comforting quiet solitude.  The aforementioned states seem to evoke greater and heightened awareness as tools that we carry on into our Lives.  

Hot springs bathing is a versatile element to add to one’s lifestyle.  They can be enjoyed during an intimate getaway, with family, as a spiritual practice or as a method of therapy.
